Hands-on Geometry Folding Shapes Kit, 16 pcs
Understanding geometry, and especially the difference between 2D and 3D, becomes much easier when children can see, touch, fold, and build the shapes themselves.Â
In this set, each geometric shape comes as both a clear 3D figure and a fold-out 2D net, helping children understand how flat shapes transform into three-dimensional forms.Â
A brilliant way for children to explore, compare, analyse, and build 3D shapes through hands-on, visual learning.Â
Try laying out all the 2D nets on a table and let children guess which 3D shape each one folds into. It’s a great way to explore perimeter, area, volume, and many other abstract geometry concepts.
All edges are rounded for comfortable handling.
Children can experiment with the following geometric shapes:Â
- Cylinder
- Square pyramid
- Cube
- Rectangular prism
- Cone
- Hexagonal prism
- Triangular pyramid
- Triangular prism
The set includes 16 pieces in total.
What makes this product special
Do you know what STEM means, and why most kids learn better when school subjects mix and mingle?

Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Science is not necessarily something dull and difficult that adults mess around with in distant offices or laboratories. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) toys are proof of that. Also, playing with STEM-based tools and toys expands your child's interest in the world of science.
